Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of preparing for my ACT, SAT or PSAT?
Tutoring can help raise your scores! And as we all know, better test scores typically lead to scholarships and financial aid at better colleges and universities. A good college can in-turn lead to a better job outlook upon graduation, which can start you off on the right track in life. Financial aid and merit scholarships (much in part due to ACT/SAT scores) can either help you attend a college that may have been previously out of reach, or help bring down the overall cost of tuition. Did you know that the average graduating senior with student loans owes $23,186? That’s just undergraduate school.

What kinds of gains are realistic?
On the ACT, a gain of 2-4 points is typical. I have had students improve as many as 8 points. On the SAT, the typical gain is 150-300 points. There are no guarantees, and a fair deal of the score improvement is reliant on the effort put forth by the student. However, I can promise I will provide each student all the tools they need to reach their full potential.

Why are you tutoring if you already have a job?
I’m tutoring because I enjoy helping students achieve their goals. I enjoy seeing a student realize his or her potential, gain self confidence and pick up skills that will serve them down the road. I don’t have to be a tutor, but I want to be a tutor. Whether or not the person you hire wants to tutor or not makes a huge difference in how much your tutor will put into tutoring and how much your son or daughter will get out of it.
